The sculptor and designer Harry Bertoia was among the most productive artists of the post-war era; his work continues to exert an influence in the very different fields of jewellery design, furniture and even public sculpture. This show at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas (29 January–24 April) – Bertoia’s first museum survey in the United States for nearly half a century – presents more than 100 works, ranging from metalwork to sound sculptures, and explores his links with prominent designers and architects such as Charles and Ray Eames and Eero Saarinen. Find out more from the Nasher’s website.
